The Small Faces – In Session At The BBC 1965 – 66
The Small Faces live studio session performances have been lovingly transferred from newly discovered BBC transcription discs and reveal a fuller, more dynamic sound than ever heard before. Featuring Steve Marriott’s wonderful and insightful interview with Brian Matthew, only recently found in America. Also including a reel-to-reel tape that a young fan had used to record one of his favourite bands as they performed on the radio. It’s rough and ready and certainly not what you would expect to find on audiophile quality vinyl but it’s the only tape recording in existence of the Small Faces’ session for the Joe Loss Pop Show.

The Small Faces – Broadcast 66 EP
Beat! Beat! Beat! was a German rock music show that ran from 1966 to 1969, with The Small Faces show broadcast in September 1966 from the Stadthalle in Offenbach and finds the group at the peak of their career doing versions of their four current hits along with an energetic interview in English and German with Stevie Marriott.

Jazz might be on its way out with many of the kids. but there are still some haunts in the capital playing some tasty grooves. This is the kind of thing you would hear back in ’65.

Here for the first time are a bunch of fab instrumental records heard in all their unfettered glory, just as the musicians played them in the studio but never previously heard on record. The full five minutes – no gaps, no clicks – all the music. Instrumental two-parters, like it says on the tin.
